i tried doing it in a band once, it was a three piece (d, g, v)and we wanted three vocalists but didn't want to find a fourth member so i tried it. as long as you only have to scream incoherently, and in parts where drums arent really complex, it isnt that hard. its just really awkward.
here's another band that does it, some of my buddies are in. two piece, drums and guitar, both of them sing:http://www.aslongaswereallliving.com/

I know someone who tried, she couldn't keep in time and her vocals sucked ass

but yes the eagles drummer did sing, and IMO was very good at it, I still have a soft spot for them

erm I know a local punk band who has 2 brothers one on drummers and one ond guitars and both do about equal amount of vocal duties.

and I think Queen used their drummer on vocals on a few songs (like bohemian rapsody in the intro) but I can't really think of any metal bands that do, I think metal singing is demanding enough without trying to play drums at the same time and not do one or the other badly.

Spiderbait (rock) singer is a drummer, he's a pretty average drummer but he's a good singer, I like his rough voice. I tried to keep myself in time once but it didn't work, and singers are there partially to entertain the audience because they can move around and do stupid shit and drummers can't.

i dont know, i find it awfully ammusing when drummers accidentally hit themselves in the face while attempting to do some kind of drumming trick

I had a bruise under my eye after I hit the floor tom too hard out of pure rage and hit myself because I couldn't handle the rebound. It does hurt, and it happens often to me because I'm a beginer (3 and a half months) and I failed anger management.

yeah but thats not when you are trying to show off by twirling your stich around mid song or something stupid like that, thats when you deserve to get hurt

Stick Spinology is fucking mint a mate of mine has all this shit on it, and I am looking to 'borrow' it at some point as for deserving to get hurt, the whole point of drumming in metal is to show off and so you are expected to try it, just it is a pain when you fail.

stick tricks are for weiners in bands like Motley Crue and shit like that, NOT for metal drummers I'd rather see the drummer do a fill than twirl a stick around.
